Fixed my freeze problems

I just wanted to get back and say thanks!!! The old kernel fix the constant freezing issues for me.

I formated my SD card in my computer and turned off my phone. Put the latest rom on the sd card and the old kernal zip provided by K0nane on the card as well, all from my computer. Booted into Clockwork, wiped data and cache like 8 gagillion times so that no one could say "make sure to wiped data and cache" when I started having problems again! ;-) Then I flashed the rom and after it finished I immediately flashed the old kernel zip.

Everything has been working fine. I tried all the things that caused my freezes before and haven't had a problem. Thanks!

[Epic 4G Android Development] Marlinsfan88:
Not at all. I have both my yahoo accounts linked and haven't had a single issue. Try reflashin the email.apk?
[Epic 4G Android Development] itisagoodname:
Same here... I posted about this a few pages back. What was the cosmetic fix? Even toggling airplane mode doesnt help. I went from <3%/hr yesterday to >10%/hr today. Only notable difference was installing Emotionless Beast theme?

So two problems - when running sprint football and the protection app I get a message that it is only for sprint/nextel users. Is there a fix for this or did I flash wrong?

Thank you

Apparently I spoke too soon! I was playing a game which I've never had problems with previous custom roms or stock DI18 and it froze up on me again. I was playing for about 5 minutes and then the screen froze and no softkeys or the power button were responsive. I had to pull the battery. I had gone about 15 hours without any problems although 8 of those I was sleeping! ;-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
If the fix is cosmetic...shame on whoever made it and mislead users & devs alike.

I can say though, that what ever fix was implemented for TWS didn't do squat. I still had TWS 50% action consistently for two days in several different locations while running this ROM.

I flashed the gingerbread batterymod from the app last night but after reboot my power button stopped working. When I pressed it the phone would vibrate once, freeze, vibrate twice and then reboot. I luckily had a backup to undo the mod. Is this a known problem?

I'm still hoping to get a response about why this would be happening?

I used the phone with the 1.1.0 rom on it for about 4 or 5 hours and it seemed to be doing fine at first, then it became more and more jittery as I used it. I figured it was a memory issue so I cleared everything out of the ram but it was still jittery. I also had the cpu set to 800mhz (for battery life), thinking that might be the culprit I set the cpu to 1ghz then 1.3ghz but it only helped slightly. Being that I was too tired to flash the phone I went to sleep and when I got up this morning the phone was still jittery so I wiped everything then restored from a backup of 1.0.2 and it seems to be working ok.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Godfather300:
Forgive me if this has already been addressed but I am having a issue with Wireless Tether. Seems if I run it for any amount of time it restarts the phone. Maybe around an hour or so? It runs fine after the phone resets but it will do it again after a while. Once when it did this it seemed like it caused super user to lose all it's saved permissions and I had to re-allow things like titanium backup etc. Anyone else had this problem? I'm still running 1.0.2 btw
[Epic 4G Android Development] tnynyn:
Just flashed from acs syndicate 1.0.2 and so far so good. No lockups, freezes, etc...Odin modem to ec05, installed cwm3, and flashed the rom. Wiped data x2, dalvik x2, cache x2 and formatted the card x2 (just to be sure =) ). Did not restore anything other than contacts, just re-downloaded all apps from market. SetCPU to ondemand 1200/400. 1st day use with full battery so ill update tomorrow on battery life.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dohturdima:
Do you mean wifi tether (came with the ROM/beta app/yellow icon) vs. wireless tether (one from the market/ad hoc/green icon)? Wifi tether (hotspot infrastructure mode) crashed on any build I ran on the Epic in exactly the same way you describe - it is an unfinished beta app, whereas wireless tether (ad hoc) worked and works flawlessly.

I am still having problems with my Plantronics 975 BT headset connecting properly - have to put it in pairing mode and repair it every time after rebooting the phone (otherwise it is shows up "paired" but would not connect). Running ACS 1.1 with EB05 modem. I've had this problem with several builds including stock EB13. Someone posted a fix for this problem once in another thread (having to do with wiping BT data somehow) - but I can't find the post, so am asking anyone regarding how to resolve this?

Folks, before you question the TWS fix, please read about it:

If you have legitimate TWS issues that are not a part of the bug that mkasick fixed, the fix will not affect you, or your ability to see it!

Did you choose the mod Under Syndicate Tab? NOT the epic 4G tab?

Quoting mkasick regarding the TWS bug fix. Apparently it does not eliminate time without signal but only changes the way in which it calculates battery percentage used for "Cell standby".

Extreme battery usage/high TWS is still an issue...

Either way, something happened when i flashed a new theme. Battery drain took a huge dive and was 10x worse this morning, ~30% in an hour. No idea what it could be.

Just reflashed back to 1.1/Vision kernal and dropped in a new battery. I'll see how it goes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
New rom does not seem to like the conservative setting. When set at 100-1000MHz conservative, phone locks up at 100MHz and lags like crazy, even when the screen is on. I have to open up setcpu and change it. Ive been using ondemand just fine without any hiccups.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bertroid:
This is a known issue with the kernel supposedly. They are aware of it and for the time being you should use "on demand" and bump up the bottom limit to 200.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shoulon:
Setcpu no likey the new cpu tweaks =/

I dont get why you guys use setcpu. the rom and cpu are already set to idle and such by default. making the app change things every time is the same amount of battery usage as if not using it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] itisagoodname:
How many people with the TWS issue have done any of the PRL/signal tweaks using the dialer code?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
My bad regarding the TWS fix.

Word of caution though, when you throw out "TWS FIX"...what's the first thing that comes to mind?

"Oh sweet, they fixed TWS that drains my battery into the abyss"

Not sure if the devs of the various roms that implemented this were aware that this "fix" really didn't fix the "bug" at all or not.

From a user's perspective, just an FYI that we weren't smokin' what you're rollin'.

to install the asop lockscreen i just need to flash correct? no wiping of cache or dalvik cache?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Godfather300:
Yes I was referring to wifi tether included in the rom (yellow icon). Which version have you found to work because after experiencing this today I downloaded a couple older versions from wifi-tethers app website and couldn't find one that would work including several versions with the old ad-hoc green icon.

Thank you very much for you help

EDIT: Just downloaded the one from the market and it FC's as soon as you open it

I would consider updating the instructions to put setcpu to on demand, I almost reflashed the rom it was so buggy on conservative....

Sorry. I pulled in error.
[Epic 4G Android Development] formula84:
So I removed set CPU and all my freezing has gone away... Ill see if it makes it threw the rest of the day.
[Epic 4G Android Development] blu9987:
Its back to normal now :(.

If it was just a coincidence I'd like to suggest it as a feature like... when at 1-2 bars roam to other towers instead of when at 0 bars for fricken days like the default :P. Or like when at -XXdb signal strength rather. If thats even possible on the epic, I think my friends evo rom does it though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tps70:
I've been running 1.1.0 since Monday evening. Overall, I have no complaints. It's still very quick, I don't have any recurring FC's, and SetCPU allows me to run at 1.3Ghz (my battery tends to drain a bit faster at this speed, so I generally run at 1.0Ghz to take advantage of the UV'ing). This is an amazing "daily driver" ROM!

Thanks to k0nane and the rest of the ACS for saving me from Sammy/Sprint's bloatware & CIQ! My phone belongs to me now!

Out of curiosity, how is everyone's SmartBench 2010/2011 scores comparing?

2010: 1415/2798

I don't have any memory optimizers or task killers running at all. I ran these two tests back to back at 1.2Ghz with no special preparation.

I just wanted feedback. I seem to be getting better bat life when I don't use juice defender. I am using set cpu 100/1000 on demand but I am going to try it without set cpu.

Am I correct that undervolts work whether I use set cpu or not? I want to see if that gives me even more battery.

Did 3 hours of screen and 1 hour talk with 14 hours on for a stock battery.

I still have to do the airplane fix to keep the TWS bug off of me.

I was also one that thought TWS fix, was the bug fix.

But, like I mentioned a few pages back, airplane mode toggle seems to no longer help, for me, on 1.1. I always toggle after a boot up. Before SRF 1.1, TWS was always around 3% or less. Now I am all over the place. About 20 minutes ago I was up to 19%, I toggled airplane mode, and now its up to 20%. Overall ROM is still great, just wondering whats going on?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
You can get RoamControl in the App Store (whoops, sue me Mr. Jobs!) to force roam only, but Sprint doesn't like heavy roamers.

Or, you can call Sprint support and explain your situation, they will likely order you an Airave, which some loathe, and some enjoy.

All the Airplane fix did was to cause the phone to report the TWS correctly. It didn't fix TWS. All the fix that is included in this rom does is cause TWS to report correctly.

Started to get some FCs on Google Framework after using Gmail. Then later messaging and swype as well. Tried clearing data on them, no success. However, I went into CWM and did Fix Permissions, worked like a charm. No more FCs.

But, I've noticed that my battery life is not on par with the previous version and is draining fairly fast. Killed DRM, did airplane toggle fix, and reflashed ROM. Battery has always been an issue for me even with little to no use though, but not quite this bad. Any suggestions other than what I've tried?

(Going to clear batt stats once phone charges completely. Phone is properly going to sleep, TWS is 18%, and display is low due to my little to no use. Not running Juice Defender.)

I'm still kinda new to the whole Rooting & ROMing of my phone, but I'm getting a grip on things. I have most of the tools to keep my phone fast and glitch free with all the bells and whistles, but it still takes a second or two for my apps that are installed on my SD to show up on my screens, and in the app drawer. So needless to say for a few seconds after the SD card manager/reader is completed I have the android null icons there. I was wondering if there was anything I could do to speed this up as well as whenever I reboot or turn off my phone the app drawer gets scrambled so I have to do menu

The ad-hoc wireless tether you downloaded from the market was orinally working for me on 1.0.1 version of ACS but started FCing on 1.0.2 (and kept FCing on 1.1 as well). What I did was completely delete the app, reflashed the ROM and kernel after 3 wipes of data/cache, redownloaded the app and was able to use the Wireless tether (green icon) again without force closes. YMMV, but the above worked for me.

Regarding wifi tether (yellow icon infrastructure app), I was pestering the dev of the app a month ago when he released the pre11 version of the app about random reboots on the Epic- and was not able to get a straight answer. The wifi tether app would always reboot the phone after ~+/-1 hour on 3g (and much sooner if a call came in or I turned on 4g). Random reboots on no journalling rom such as ours = data corruptions and constant backups/restores which can be avoided by not using the above app until it is truly ready for prime time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brewsbro:
thanks for the reply. I understand what your saying. And knew that. I guess I should have never said 'fix'. what I am just trying to understand is, if the airplane toggle causes TWS to report correct, and the fix in SRF does the same, why is it no longer the same for me? I always did the toggle to get the correct reading. It was always in the low single digits, now its not. Is it possible, maybe, the airplane mode toggle never worked for me before correctly? Oh well, at least SRF rocks!

Try the EB13 Camera APK - and it's not included as of 1.1.0, because the mods weren't yet ready.

No, we did not change anything. The EC05 modem may have. You can use the EB13 modem with this ROM.

Can you get into download mode? If not, please join us on irc.fossnet.info #acs-users.

Clear data for the app.

The landscape issue is known and has been a problem on all ROMs, stock or custom, since EB13. Our themers are looking for a fix.

BT has been an issue since at least EB13 - as far as clearing specifically Bluetooth data, I'd just be searching - but clearing all data should also clear BT data.

If the problem appeared after flashing a theme, make sure first that your chosen theme is explicitly compatible with EC05. If you were getting good battery life before the flash, you probably need to charge to 100% while off and wipe battery stats.

It's not the ROM, it's the kernel - tanimn is aware of it, and made no promises with Conservative - only that it would work, and nothing else. ;) Continue to use On Demand until further notice. It is the default.

This - but you only need to bump to 200 if 100 with On Demand locks your device.

I am entirely aware of what the fix was, I read mkasick's post thoroughly before implementing it. You're correct that I could have worded it a little more clearly in the changelog - but I never once expected a fix for real TWS issues (which are often actual time without signal...), only for the increasingly-common double-time 50%-TWS display issue due to the bug mkasick fixed.

Correct. If you have issues, wipe those two.

Uninstall the included version before installing the Market version.

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking for...

LCD density settings haven't been tested - and we can't realistically support any other than what's designed for this device. Sorry!

Apps on the SD card taking a bit to show up is expected - the stock SD card isn't terribly fast, and on every boot, Media Scanner runs, monopolizing IO for about 30 seconds. As far as sorting goes, are you using TouchWiz (on Fully Loaded)? If you are... sorry, but Samsung's coders are idiots. :) There's not much that can be done about sorting in TouchWiz. Try another launcher.

I had to revert to the release before this

the newest release I had problems with.

-after every proper power down, I would have to delete the extra

screens I dont use [i use only 2]

-rom had slowdown to a crawl and totally did not like Tapatalk,

would always freeze for moments in the app [i suspect it to be the kernel]

Just wanna say I love using this ROM, ten times over. I can't wait for the journaled version. I don't understand why anyone wouldn't use journaled...I know performance, but at the risk of corrupting your entire ROM. Nah, journal should be on by default just like with all the computer OS's.

Did you already try the standard troubleshooting steps? None of those are known issues. The only one that /could/ be related to anything existing are the freezes, for which the kernel is the fix.
